COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ondineke is a classic tripel, brewed in the ancient way, again with exclusive natural ingredients: artesian water, malt (barley), hops, yeast and liquid candy sugar. As in the Saison no spices are added. Ondineke is an unfiltered top fermenting beer. It is soft, creamy, and of golden color. It is double hopped with the last real hops available from the region of Aalst (The variety is Hallertau Mittelfrüh). Ondineke has a positive taste evolution and the bottles are best kept standing in a cool, dark place. It is best before two years after the bottling date. 8.5 % alc.vol. makes this a beer to be savoured. Preferably Ondineke is to be served at a temperature between 6 to 10° C. Moreover Ondineke is at its best when served in the originally designed Glazen Toren glass.

TheBeerGod (4632) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - MAR 19, 2006
Bottled. Cloudy gold. Nose is spicy very yeasty and floral. Lots of dried fruitiness as well. Taste is much the same - dried fruits, flowery notes, light candi sugar, and abundant spice notes. Body is very bubbly but smooth. Finishes slightly bitter and yeasty with more flowers, dried fruits and dusty malts.

Bottled: Golden coloured. Hazy. Fluffy beige head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Has some light spicy and yeasty notes. Flavour is similar. Sweets and fruits spiced up. Very drinkable, but unfortunately gets a little cloying and bananaish in the end.

schuimkroaat (410) - Leuven, BELGIUM - AUG 23, 2005
Shiny light amber with a slight haze and a huge fluffy white head. Partly malty and sugary, partly earthly aroma reminiscent of a freshly mown meadow, with notes of rubber and alcohol. Initially crispy, sweetish taste, soon followed by fruity flavours and very sharp tartiness, finishing with gentle bitterness. The dry, tart flavour lingers on in the aftertaste. Well bodied, neatly teasing.

JorisPPattyn (7306) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - OCT 25, 2003
Yellowish, with greenish shine, hazy; huge white head, very lively carbonation and unbelievable lace. Nice leafy smell, fresh aroma hops to the fore as well. Sugar is perceptible, honey just as an aroma, taste as the drashes aroma, grassy, cattle feed. End perception is slightly acidic - great! Treacherously light mouthfeel. I love this beer, young as it is. A great, exciting new tripel.
